Matty know's how we're all bustin' after seeing that prototytpe and we can all rest assured we'll be rolling our own BR's down the carpet within a year. I'm proposing a variant possibilty now; I originally posted this message in the "Palace Guard" thread, but it's just as relevant here-

When watching the "Rainbow Warrior" episode, it was cool how all the Palace Guards came through rolling deep in all Sky Sleds. It would be awesome if when that Battle Ram is released, they make a couple thousand extra Sky-Sleds (without the wheeled backpiece). They wouldn't even need packaging, just put them in baggies (or mailers) and sell them for $15. I'd buy 4 myself and I'm sure other collectors would jump all over that as well! Am I right?

It would be cool if we could see a second vehicle sculpted by the 4 Horsemen (an evil one with a totally different look than the Battle Ram... say, Spydor, the Landshark or the Fright Fighter, for instance). That might be the definite proof we need to go all the way for the 4 Horsemen.

My vote is for the Collector.

Given the 4H were acting on their own initiative, the Collector should be a possibility. Two birds one stone: the 4H can show Matty how awesome it would be to acquire those FILMation rights!

Battle Ram wheels

Hi,

the Battle Ram shown by the FH at SDCC 2010 had wheels that look like plastic. I love the design very much but I would prefer the wheels to be made of a soft material like rubber. Stiff platic in wheels always looks cheap and makes funny noises.

Why did the Wind Raider leap frog the Battle Ram in terms of availability? Why not put both out in the anniversary year... or maybe that's what they're doing?!!!

nah, I think 2 vehicles would be pushing it. I think windraider came first because it was the first vehicle in the vintage line and it is relatively small compaired to that awesome Classics version of the Battle Ram that the 4H did.

If they do do a Battle Ram, I almost assume they will release the Sled and the Ram shooter part seperately. If they do it together, that thing is going to be massively expensive. It's far bigger than I think people realize.

I'm excited for it, and other than a Roton perhpas, I want this thing next.

I would expect to see the Battle Ram next year, depending on how well the Wind Raider does, of course.

It would be an ideal candidate for a surprise reveal at NYTF, IMO. We already know the June monthly, variant and 30th anniversary figure, leaving just July, August, the third quarter variant and beast and the fourth 30th figure to reveal then (unless they skip into September too). It'd be a nice addition.
